1. You supported the religion of Allah, you were congratulated for your good deed
Its glad tidings guide you to fill the hearing

١. أناصِرَ دينِ اللهِ هُنِّئْتَهُ صُنْعا
بشائِرُهُ تُهْديكَ ما يَمْلأُ السّمْعا

2. You gathered the hearts of Muslims with determination
That stops whoever transgresses and answers whoever calls

٢. جمعْتَ قُلوبَ المُسلِمين بعزْمَةٍ
تكُفُّ مَنِ اسْتَعْدى تجيبُ مَنِ استَدْعى

3. You hit the enemies of the religion with a terrible blow
Leaving them dead at the battleground

٣. رمَيْتَ عُداةَ الدّين منها بفادِحٍ
لدى مُلْتَقى الهَيْجاءِ يترُكُهُمْ صرْعَى

4. And how many white hands have been decorated with a brave young man
Returning to the white abode

٤. وكمْ من يَدٍ بيْضاءَ طوّقتها فتىً
إلى منزلِ البيضاء قد أعْملَ الرُّجْعى

5. Who threw away his white abode to avenge
What the sword of Saif ibn Dhi Yazan had done

بما قد رَمى سيْفُ بنُ ذي يَزَنٍ صَنْعا

With no hardship in what you naturally did

Raised on the coast when you established it

٧. وللهِ منها مُنشآتٌ قدِ ارْتَمَتْ
على اللّجِّ رَفْعاً حين أحْكَمتَها وَضْعا

8. And the shadows of security and prosperity were over it
So do good with it and succeed with it

٨. سرَتْ وظِلالُ الأمْنِ واليُمْنِ فوقَها
فأحْسِنْ به مَسْرىً وأنْجِحْ به مَسْعى

9. You warded off in the hearts of every opponent
The arrows of death towards him were aimed and hit

٩. درأْتَ به في صدْرِ كلّ مُعانِدٍ
سِهامُ المَنايا نحْوَهُ أُحْكِمَتْ وَقْعا

10. You were given good news of it, the making of a benefactor
He gifted them with it and it interceded for him

١٠. أتتْكَ بها البُشْرى صَنيعةَ مُنْعِمٍ
حَباهُمْ بها وِتْراً وعادَتْ لهُ شفْعا

11. And you built a stronghold for the Hanafi religion
And made it prominent among the guardians of Allah

١١. وشيّدتَ للدّين الحَنيفيّ مَصْنَعاً
وفي أولياءِ اللهِ أظهرْتَهُ صُنْعا

12. It destroys those who befriended misguidance and its people
Grave events that he cannot handle defending against

١٢. يُحِلُّ بمَنْ والَى الضّلالَ وأهْلَهُ
حوادِثَ جلّتْ أنْ يُطيقَ لها دَفْعا

So how many opponents of Allah were constrained by it

فكمْ ضارعٍ للهِ ضاقَ بهِ ذَرْعا

No Sunnah is revived, no covenant respected

ولا سُنّةٌ تُحْيا ولا ذمّةٌ تُرْعَى

15. Wronging the religion, though it is a garden
Whose flowers he plucked and whose branches he cut

١٥. على الدّين ظُلماً قد جَنى وهْوَ روْضَةٌ
جَنى زهْرَها قَطْفاً وأغْصانَها قَطْعا

16. Until you came to the aid of the country and its people
Expanding them favor and fortifying them from prevention

١٦. إلى أن تَدارَكتَ البلادَ وأهْلَها
فأوْسَعْتَها منْحاً وحصّنتَها مَنْعا

17. You split it with the order of Allah, making it unbreakable
So the days cannot mend it after the split

١٧. صدَعْتَ بأمْر اللهِ فيه مُحَكّماً
فما تَجْبُرُ الأيامُ بعدُ لهُ صَدْعا

18. And you sent from your womb an all encompassing mercy
To dissolve its group and separate its mass

تُبدِّدُه شَمْلاً تفرِّقُهُ جَمْعا

19. You singled it out rightly and misguided it
And refuted it justly and struggled against it legally

١٩. فبايَنتَهُ رُشْداً وضلّلْتَهُ هُدىً
ودافعْتَهُ حُكْماً وجاهَدتَهُ شَرعا

20. The abodes became empty of it, so the sanctuary was desolate
The goal became far, and the pasture became vacant

وقد بعُدَ المَرْمى وقد صوّحَ المرْعَى

21. And the family of Marwan, when they called you for help
You did not neglect the call or disregard the plea

٢١. وآلُ مَرينٍ إذْ دَعَوْا منكَ ناصراً
ولم تُهمِل الدّعْوى ولم تُغْفِلِ المَدْعا

22. You answered, and from your sending was the sword and the spear
A flame and lightning that stirred conflict with it

٢٢. أجَبْتَ ومنْ أرْسالِكَ السّيفُ والقَنا
شِهاباً وبرْقاً قد أثارَا به نَقْعا

23. I seek refuge in the seven often repeated [verses] for people
At the One, the Almighty who attained them perfectly

٢٣. أعوِّذُ بالسّبعِ المثاني خلائِقاً
لدى مُفرَد بالعزّ أحْرزَها سَبْعا

24. Chastity, courage, knowledge, determination
Forbearance, wisdom, warranting favor and prevention

٢٤. عفافاً وإقداماً وعِلْماً وعزْمَةً
وحِلْماً وحَزْماً يوجِبُ المنحَ والمَنْعا

25. To Him is the lightning of a sword in the clouds of comfort
Pleasant to you flashing in the gloom of war or gleaming

٢٥. لهُ برْقُ سيفٍ في غمامةِ راحةٍ
يروقُكَ لمْحاً في دُجَى الحرْبِ أو لمْعا

26. And here is the beautiful rhyme for you
So listen, O the most generous of men, listen

٢٦. وهاكَ من النّظمِ البَديعِ قَوافِياً
فسَمْعاً إمامَ الأكْرمين لها سَمْعا

27. It crowns me the crown of a grateful dove
So with praise in the meadow of wishes I make rhymes

٢٧. تُطوّقنِي طوْقَ الحمامة مُنْعِماً
فبالمَدْحِ في روْضِ المُنى أُسْمِعُ السّجْعا

28. And I have come with beautiful words, and whoever comes
To describe you in verse, his creativity is not innovation

٢٨. وقد جئتُ باللفظِ البَديعِ ومَن أتى
بوصْفِكَ نظماً ليسَ إبداعُهُ بِدْعا

29. You continue to grant victory, initially and repeatedly
And build the Hanafi religion with it fully

٢٩. فلازِلْتَ تُولي النّصْر بَدءاً وعَودةً
وتعْمرُ للدّين الحنيفِ بهِ رَبْعا
